It’s been totally nuts here. I have always said I will play with anyone. I will own anyone we go up against. Depending on mode I’m thinking Marksman, Medic or Engineer. I have them all pretty much maxed out. I’m good to go.
Bring them on……………

BTW I would own you all in KZ3 if that was the case too.
But when is the PSN up?

How about you Mizz? You just want to kill me too?

Of course he does. You so killable Guru baby. Ha ha ha.
” You’re like a lion swimming in the ocean”
You know what that leads too.

It looks like my credit card info did get stolen through the PSN Hack Extravaganza. I literally haven’t used it for over a week now and as of late last night and early this morning two mysterious charges have been applied to my card.

The two charges came from:

ELCOM-DESIGN.CO $9.95

and

STAR PAYPERCLIC $8.62

I’m providing this info so that maybe you can get the word out and we can see if similar charges have occurred on other peoples card from the same sources.

They emailed me back…

Hello Jason,

We do apologize for this inconvenience and if this is related to our recent situation, we cannot confirm that at all.

Please check with your financial institution that issued your bank cards and if there are any charges not coming from purchases stemming from the PlayStation(R)Network, that you did not approve, please let the bank and local authorities, handle this for you.

If you find any unauthorized transactions made on your account via purchases made from the PlayStation(R)Network then contact us immediately and we will take a report. If you have the bank reverse any PSN related charges your PlayStation(R)Network account automatically will be banned for debt, and we do not want you to go through that, if it is not necessary.

Call us directly at 866-286-5123 M-F 8-5 PT, if you have found any unauthorized PlayStation(R)Network charges to make a report. Once the network is available we can investigate your issues.

Tell the agent you have an email case number #******-******, if you need to call.

Regards,
James G

So I responded:

To whom it may concern (or James)
I appreciate your apology but let’s not be coy here. You say you can’t confirm at all if whether or not these charges to my credit card were due to the breach in your network and I say that’s a load of crap sir. As I’ve stated I’ve not used my card to purchase ANYTHING within the last 8 or more days and now these charges from what looks obviously like fraudulent companies show up on my card, the card I have registered with the PSN. This is obviously not a coincidence. And it gets better! My credit union security office calls me today and goes through the already aforementioned charges (ELCOM-DESIGN.CO $9.95 and STAR PAYPERCLIC $8.62)to find out if these are valid or not because they triggered some red flags in their system, and behold they list another one that didn’t even show up in my online checking which is:

THE 8 IS ENUF INVE $20.01 They also notify me that most of these charges appeared on 04/23/2011 .

So here’s a great idea, instead of emailing me back in your cold, corporate disposition, how about thanking me for going out of my way to provide you with this information or for staying a loyal customer throughout this debacle of yours which has more than inconvenienced me at this point. I hope your company learns an important lesson here and does the right thing by insuring this will never happen again and reimbursing it’s customers (in some form or another) who have been financially inconvenienced by this whole disaster.

Your company needs to quit with the cold corporate speak and start being a little more personable with it’s customers. After all, you’re not the only ones affected by all of this.

Sincerely,

Jason Tanner

Hello Jason,

Thanks for everything you have provided. Really, I do mean that and I am sorry if I sound like a stuffed shirt.

I have forwarded your information and while the timing might indicate a relationship is a possibility, it does not make that conclusion definite without investigation.

Additionally (I just want to make sure you have this information available to you):

We are currently conducting a thorough investigation of the situation. As this is a continuing investigation, we will not comment further on this matter.

With regard to any refunds or compensation, at this time we are currently determining various options for users and will make an announcement at http://www.us.playstation.com/support once something is finalized.

We have provided the latest information we have had available as reflected in the contents of the Blog.

We have sent letters to all customer’s email addresses and posted the same information on our web site.

This information is provided on our Consumer Alerts Page and we highly suggest you take the time to read and consider what information is provided.

We sincerely regret that PlayStation Network and Qriocity services have been suspended and we are working around the clock to restore service. We have a clear path to have these services back online and expect some services within a week. An external intrusion on our system has affected our PlayStation Network and Qriocity services. Our efforts to resolve this matter involve re-building our system to further strengthen our network infrastructure. Though this task is time-consuming, we decided it was worth the time necessary to provide the system with additional security. We thank you for your patience to date and ask for a little more while we move towards completion of this project. We will continue to give you updates as they become available on the PlayStation® Blog:
